About Sandra
Sandra Crisp is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Texas with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. Sandra sees many people who are managing more than one concern at once and helps them address overlapping issues together.
Her way of working is collaborative and direct. Sandra and the client set clear goals and build a step-by-step plan to reach them. She uses practical conversations and exercises rather than abstract theory, and she explains ideas in everyday language so people can try them between sessions.
Sandra draws on several approaches to guide sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is part of her practice and she also weaves in cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based strategies. Attachment-informed ideas shape how she thinks about relationship and pattern problems.
In sessions she may look at how past hurts shape current reactions, practice skills for managing strong emotions, and identify concrete steps to reduce harmful behaviors. She pays attention to how physical illness, caregiving stress, or life changes affect mood and coping. Sandra encourages small experiments clients can do between meetings to test new ways of responding.
People who contact her can expect plain language and focused work on what matters most to them. She accepts international clients and conducts therapy in English. To start, prospective clients are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on recognizing and naming feelings that are hard to put into words. It is often used when relationship patterns or attachment-related hurts keep repeating and causing pain.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for depression, anxiety, and living with chronic illness or ongoing stress.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current reactions and patterns. This approach helps people understand why certain situations trigger strong emotions and what changes might reduce repeated conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That process may involve trying different techniques and adjusting the plan based on what helps.
Information about specific session formats was not given in the original profile, so confirm current online meeting options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use a mix of strategies during remote work to focus on emotions, practical skills, and behavior changes without changing the core goals of treatment.
